THREE music heavyweights have been confirmed for this year’s Summer Pops festival.

Legendary rockers Status Quo, veteran singer Rod Stewart and number one tribute act in the world, The Australian Pink Floyd Show are all lined up to grace the stage at the Liverpool Echo Arena in July this year.

Organisers of the Liverpool Summer Pops have confirmed that more big names are to be revealed over the coming weeks.

Organiser Chas Cole, of CMP productions, said: “This is a really special year for the Liverpool Summer Pops Festival, not only is it our tenth anniversary this year but we have been trying to bring Rod Stewart to Liverpool for a decade so this is really exciting news.

“I’m delighted my old friends and rocking legends Status Quo are playing the Summer Pops, I’ve worked with them on numerous shows over the years and they always put on a great show.”
